Yeremiya 33
1 Yeremiya akanali mʼndende mʼbwalo la alonda, Yehova anayankhula nayenso kachiwiri nati:
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.
2 “Yehova amene analenga dziko lapansi, kuliwumba ndi kulikhazikitsa; amene dzina lake ndi Yehova, akuti,
Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and you shall declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded you to speak to them; abate not one word.
3 ‘Unditame mopemba ndipo ndidzakuyankha. Ndidzakuwuza zinsinsi zazikulu zimene suzidziwa.’
Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.
4 Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akunenapo pa za nyumba za mu mzinda muno ndiponso pa za nyumba za mafumu a Yuda. Zidzagwetsedwa, ndipo palibe chifukwa cholimbana ndi mitumbira ya nkhondo ya Ababuloni.
And you shall say, Thus said the Lord; If you will not listen to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,
5 Ababuloni akubwera kudzawuthira nkhondo mzindawu ndipo nyumba zake zidzadzaza ndi mitembo ya anthu amene ndidzawapha mokwiya ndi mwaukali. Ndawufulatira mzinda uno chifukwa cha zoyipa zake zonse.
to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yes, I sent them, but you listened not to me;
6 “‘Pambuyo pake mzindawu ndidzawupatsanso moyo ndi kuwuchiritsa; ndidzachiritsa anthu anga ndi kuwapatsa chitetezo ndi mtendere weniweni.
then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.
7 Ndidzawakhazikanso Ayuda ndi Aisraeli ku dziko lawo, ndipo ndidzawabwezera monga mmene analili poyamba.
And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
8 Ndidzawayeretsa pochotsa zoyipa zonse zimene anandichitira, ndiponso ndidzawakhululukira machimo onse amene anachita pondiwukira.
And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,
9 Mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzandipatsa chimwemwe, chiyamiko ndi ulemerero. Anthu a mitundu yonse adzanditamanda akadzamva za zabwino zonse zimene ndawuchitira mzindawu. Iwo adzachita mantha ndi kunjenjemera poona madalitso ochuluka ndi mtendere zimene ndapereka kwa mzinda umenewu.’
You shall surely die, because you have prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.
10 “Yehova akuti, ‘Inu mumanena za malo ano kuti ndi bwinja,’ malo opandamo anthu kapena nyama. Komatu mizinda ya Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu mʼmene tsopano muli zii mudzamvekanso
And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.
11 mfuwu wachimwemwe ndi mawu achisangalalo, mawu a mkwatibwi ndi mkwati. Mʼnyumba ya Mulungu mudzamvekanso nyimbo za anthu amene akudzapereka nsembe zothokoza Yehova. Azidzati, “Yamikani Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, popeza Iye ndi wabwino; pakuti chifundo chake nʼchamuyaya.” Pakuti ndidzabwezeretsa zinthu zabwino za dziko lino monga zinalili poyamba, akutero Yehova.
Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
12 “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Malo ano, a chipululu ndi wopanda anthu kapena nyama, mʼmizinda yake yonse mudzakhala msipu umene abusa adzadyetserako nkhosa zawo.
Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which you have heard.
13 Ku mizinda ya kumapiri, ya kuchigwa, ya ku Negevi, ya ku dera la Benjamini, ku dziko lozungulira Yerusalemu, ndi ku mizinda ya Yuda, nkhosa zidzadutsanso pamaso pa munthu woziwerenga,’ akutero Yehova.
And now amend your ways and your works, and listen to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.
14 “‘Taonani masiku akubwera,’ akutero Yehova, ‘pamene ndidzachitadi zokoma zimene ndinalonjeza Aisraeli ndi nyumba ya Yuda.
And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.
15 “‘Mʼmasiku amenewo ndi pa nthawi imeneyo ndidzaphukitsa Nthambi yolungama kuchokera ku banja la Davide; munthuyo adzachita zolungama ndi zabwino mʼdziko.
But know for a certainty, that if you kill me, you bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.
16 Mʼmasiku amenewo Yuda adzapulumuka ndipo Yerusalemu adzakhala mwamtendere. Dzina limene mzindawu udzadziwike nalo ndi ili: Yehova Chilungamo Chathu.’
Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
17 Yehova akunena kuti, ‘Davide sadzasowa mdzukulu wolowa mʼmalo mwake pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli,
And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,
18 ngakhale ansembe, amene ndi Alevi, sadzasowanso munthu woyima pamaso panga nthawi zonse wopereka nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zaufa ndi nsembe zina.’”
Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus says the Lord; Sion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.
19 Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti:
Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way kill him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.
20 Mawu anga ndi awa. Ine ndinachita pangano ndi usana ndi usiku kuti zizibwera pa nthawi yake. Pangano limeneli inu simungaliphwanye.
And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.
21 Ndinachitanso pangano ndi Davide, mtumiki wanga kuti nthawi zonse adzakhala ndi mdzukulu wodzakhala pa mpando wake waufumu. Ndinachitanso pangano ndi Alevi kuti iwonso adzanditumikira nthawi zonse. Mapangano amenewa sadzaphwanyidwa nthawi zonse.
And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to kill him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.
22 Ndidzachulukitsa ngati nyenyezi zamlengalenga ndiponso ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja zidzukulu za mtumiki wanga Davide ndiponso za Alevi amene amanditumikira Ine.
And the king sent men into Egypt;
23 Yehova anafunsa Yeremiya kuti,
and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he struck him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.
24 “Kodi sunamve mmene anthu ena akumanenera kuti, ‘Yehova wakana maufumu awiriwa amene Iye anawasankha.’ Kotero anthuwo akunyoza anthu anga ndipo sakuwayesanso mtundu wa anthu.
Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.
25 ‘Koma Ine Yehova ndinachita pangano ndi usana ndi usiku. Ndinakhazikitsanso malamulo oyendetsa dziko lakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi,
26 monga ndachita zimenezi motsimikiza, choncho ndidzasunga pangano limene ndinachita ndi zidzukulu za Yakobo ndi Davide mtumiki wanga. Ndidzasankha mmodzi mwa ana a Davide kuti alamulire zidzukulu za Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo. Komatu ndidzawamvera chifundo ndi kuwakhazikanso pabwino.’”
